PART II PRODUCTS
2.01 Manufacturer
A. Subject to compliance with the requirements specified herein, the following
manufacturer offering component products is to be incorporated into the work:
1. RollEase Inc., Stamford, CT., 800.552.5100,
a. Bill Putnam, Commercial Program Manager, Email:
B. Substitutions – No substitutions allowed.
C. Cordless Lift System Model:
1. EasySpring
2. EasySpringPlus
2.02 EasySpring– Components
A. Control System: Manually-operated spring roller shade.
1. Configuration: Single shades
2. Dual Shades
B. Mounting Hardware:
1. Mounting Hardware: RollEasestandard nickel-plated, stamped steel
universal brackets, varying in size depending upon size and weight of
shade, including end plug devices affixed to brackets. Endplugs designed to be
inserted into roller tube for a tight fit and to provide bearing surfaces on which the
roller tube rides, ensuring smooth, wear-resistant operation.White powder coat
painted finish.
2, Mounting Hardware: RollEase “Skyline” series nickel-plated, stamped steel
universal brackets, varying in size depending upon size and weight of shade.
Brackets are adaptable to all Skyline bracket and fascia systems with the use of a
Skyline Bracket Adaptor.
a. Skyline spring-loaded pin end optional.
C. Roller Tube: Extruded aluminum shade roller tube of diameter and wall thickness
required to support shade fabric without excessive deflection, with engineered wall &
ribs to lock the clutch and idle end plug into place, providing strength & durability.
Extruded tube parameters to be determined by fabricator for each shade’s size,
weight, and fabric requirement.
D. Fabric Attachment to Tube: Provide for positive mechanical attachment of fabric to
roller tube via LSE (Low Stress Energy) double-sided adhesive tape to secure the
fabric without having to remove shade roller from shade brackets. Fabric wrap of 2 ½
to 3 times the circumference of the roller tube required for proper tension of fabric-to-
tube. Fabricator to calculate for required fabric heights to accomplish correct fabric
drop.
E. Springs: Tempered steel helical torsion spring of size and capacity to accomplish the
lift requirements of size and fabric weight. A speed reducer shall be an integral
component of the spring assembly, with fittings sized for roller tube inside diameter
and to be secured by the spring bracket end plugs.Standard 1” overall diameter
springs adaptable to 1 ¼” (32mm) tubes. A 1 1/8” overall diameter spring mechanism
is also available. A 1 1/2” overall diameter spring mechanism to be calculated for
larger shades. Standard 1” springs incorporate two stop balls.
F. Speed Reducer: Enables a slow, steady rise of fabric when operated – 1” and 1 1/4”
springs only.
G. Speed Reducer with Stop: Enables a slow, steady rise offabric when operated– 1”
and 1 1/4” springs only. Two integral stopballs allow for an internal stop
approximately every 1” to 2”(25mm – 50mm) of fabric travel, depending upon tube
diameter.
H. Hem Weight – Internal: Standard, aluminum extrusion enclosed in a fabric hem pocket
with heat-welded seams and ends.
I. Hem Bar - External: Oval hem bar with end caps and screws.
a. Color: Clear Anodized
b. Color: White
c. Color: Vanilla
d. Color: Brown
e. Color: Black
J.Optional Fascia System: Available only with “Skyline” series brackets and utilization of
Skyline Bracket Adaptor
K. Shade Cloth Fabric: Inherently anti-static, flame retardant, fade and stain resistant,
light filtering, room darkening, or blackout fabrics as selected by the architect from
RollEase full line of Alkenz fabrics. Fabrics of compositions containing combinations
of fiberglass, PVC, polyester, acrylic, vinyl laminates & vinyl coatings. Fabric type,
pattern and finish as selected by architect from manufacturer’s available contract
colors.
2.03 EasySpringPlus - Components
A. Control System: Manually-operated spring roller shade with integral stop feature.
B. Mounting Hardware:
